unfortunately, once you get out of school and put your engineering degree to good use, you'll have plenty of money but still no time. and after about 40 years or so of that, you'll be able to retire and finally have lots of time...but money will once again need to be conserved. so it sounds like your best years (or summer) is already behind you :)
[Android Apps and Games] barth2:
That really sucks. Back in my younger days when I had the energy to write programs (that's what they were called then), the most time consuming and exhausting part was user support. And a lot of users are sorry to say it just lazy. They can't be bothered to read the faqs or ask questions in the news group. And then they get mad and abusive if I get tired and pulled a Steve Jobs and give short, mildly brusque answers. And the program was completely free with no nags and only my web page contained a PayPal link, which few ever used.

Well the good thing about it is some people are still using it after all these years, even though I have moved on and not even using it myself.

I'm sure most devs make a pittance. Putting onerous conditions will only drive away the small one person outfits. The spammers will probably keep on keeping on.

Hey,

In thunder Browser there is the Option "use wide viewport" which helps a Lot displaying Desktop Like webpages without Text reflow. Could you add this Option to lightning Browser too?
[Android Apps and Games] krule031:
Hi guys. First of all, great browser, good job. Could you add that top bar hides when scrolling down like on stock browser? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] anthonycr:
No it can't be disabled. Maybe a future feature. I'll add it to the list.

That option is actually already in Lightning Browser. settings>>advanced settings>>use wide viewport

Settings>>Fullscreen

I mean that statusbar stays visible and just the bar with url hides when scrooling down.
[Android Apps and Games] anthonycr:
That's what it does, make sure you don't have the "hide status bar" option checked in advanced settings.
[Android Apps and Games] SiXiam:
Thanks. I was using Dolphin browser, which has the option to disable right or left swiping. In your case bookmarks and new tabs.

For some reason bookmarks opens up more on accident when browsing. Could be a right handed thing.

Guys what the difference betwen Thunder and Lighting browser?
[Android Apps and Games] PhilDX:
Thunder is superior :)

(because it includes old fashioned tabs instead of the slide out tab bar)
[Android Apps and Games] barth2:
Is anyone else seeing dead tabs with thunder like in attached pic?

This happens when I open a web link with thunder from another app. The opened windows are still there, but the corresponding tabs are gone. They can only be closed by repeated taps of back key.
[Android Apps and Games] FILLY86:
Yes. I am getting this too. For example when the tabs are reloaded after a restart of the APP.
[Android Apps and Games] anthonycr:
Well the latest version is on the play store as a beta. I'm gonna fix a few more things and release it as an update when I have time. Thanks for letting me know the newer version works.

I've seen this occasionally. Honestly, up until you just commented here, I couldn't figure out how to reproduce this bug... Probably because I close tabs as soon as I read them. I'm going to fix this.

Yes, "find in page" feature. It higlights the results but can't find buttons/options like previous/next occurrence.
[Android Apps and Games] anthonycr:
DF1E actually generously committed some code to the repository to fix this. I haven't had time yet to merge and verify it, but when I do it will make it into the app for your use :)

[REQ] Favorite share tool and exit button (right drawer)

A nice add would be to have two new buttons in the right side drawer (like the next and previous arrows in the left drawer). I was thinking in a shortcut for the favorite share tool (for instance: Pocket, Instagram or Pushbullet) and an exit button to close completely the app and free the ram.﻿

I hope you like the suggestion
[Android Apps and Games] anthonycr:
File uploading does NOT work on KitKat (I'm guessing you are on that) Google disabled it. If you are on Android Lolli, I haven't updated for Lolli and haven't added the upload code for it yet. This applies to the others of you that posted about uploading as well.

I think you posted in the community too (thanks!). This is a great idea and as I try to materialize the browser I'm going to be trying to bring some of the commands into the drawer like you are suggesting.

No on the pie controls, hopefully yes on the not inverting images. I need to find a way to properly invert the webview using JavaScript or something.

Right now no, although as someone suggested, there's an xposed module. I'm not sure what's gonna happen for the browser with android L, so I might change the color scheme. However, the nav drawers will remain white because that seems to be the guidelines. Action bar (now called toolbar) is definitely changing, but I think I should leave it a neutral color like the dark gray or white... We'll see. I'll probably post some ideas as they come to me.
[Android Apps and Games] anthonycr:
That's really odd. What version of Android are you on?

File upload does work for some on KK. I made a small WebView based app. For me file upload does work(even on JB). But yeah you are right upload is messed up :/

I hope they change it in the future and give us something like a universal API. Keep goin :thumbup:

Btw I noticed that Google saves my search history even when deleting cookies, cache. Can you add something like a 'nuke' button to delete everything except settings?

Edit: Or an option to always use incognito on startup

Edit 2: Ok I found a solution. I made a shortcut to the incognito activity.

Man you are alive! :eek:

When will you work on your marvelous fb browser? :)
[Android Apps and Games] .:Crack:.:
anthonycr,

great browser!

I've just got a few suggestions:

1. Hide Url/Tab bar when fully loaded, like stock browser, i.e. show the website on fullscreen (with statusbar) -> about 1,5cm more space in hight (alot on a smartphone - I know this is especially for a tablet)

2. Other textinput config? It's not possible to use swype/flow with your browser... There should be a difference between the config used for the URL bar (no swype/flow possible, because a url input should be precise) and e.g. the text input on google.com or facebook (swype/flow allowed since you are creating free texts like on text messaging) [as seen on dolphin]

3. better multitasking abilities? In my tests the browser closed when minimizing it - the page does not refresh but the starting page (google) is shown.

I hope you understand my suggestions and are able to implement them!
[Android Apps and Games] djoni_gitara:

Re: [APP][2.2+] The Lightning Browser v2.0.0 - the fastest browser around

I may add the bookmarks as the default start screen in the future. I had a problem setting it default in version 2.0.0

I had another report of this by someone with the nexus 10.... Do you think you could run a logcat and show what displays when you touch the menu button? It seems 10 inch tablets won't display the menu

Re: [APP][2.2+] The Lightning Browser v2.0.0 - the fastest browser around

Wow great. This is fast and really bare bones.few things I would like to mention,

I would love a bookmarks tab on main screen but not as the main interface so its really easy to access.

Having the same issues as mentioned with the back tab not actually taking me all the way back to my homepage.

I'm guessing that the browser doesn't store history etc?

Again this is really good browser for me, I love the minimal approach

[Android Apps and Games] koinden:
I've been trying this browser out and I think it's brilliant, however so far I've come across 2 bugs.

1) Unable to access the options, clicking or long pressing on the options appears to do nothing.

2) When trying to attach a file it would not give me the option to 'explore' the Android O/S and pick the file I wished to upload, using the same function on stock browser prompts me to open Solid Explorer, Astro etc.

I have a TF101 running JB, i've never made a logcat before but I've given it a go and attached the file. I hope it doesn't contain too much unnecessary information.

All the best and thanks again for the time you've spent developing this :)

Hey,

Very nice browser. May i suggest to integrate an Option to temporarily use JavaScript or flash. Like "click to enable"
[Android Apps and Games] UtkarshAgrawal:
Re: [APP][2.2+] The Lightning Browser v2.0.0 - the fastest browser around

+1 Click to enable is a really great option because when flash is enabled it slows the page loading speed as it has to load the flash elements as well.

Απ: [APP][2.2+] The Lightning Browser v2.0.0 - the fastest browser around

Great browser. The only thing I missed is the opening a link in a new tab.

Also some websites have popup ads when you open a link. This causes a problem because this browser opens the ad in the current tab so you can't open the link even if you press the back button and you end up in this loop: tap to a link > ad is opened at the current tab > you press back button to re-tap the link > ad is opened at the current tab. As a result you can't see the link at all.

Other browsers either block the ad and the popup window or open the ad in a second tab so you can open the link at the first tab.

Last but not least, full screen doesn't work on my device. Even if I am on YouTube.

Thanks in advance.

Kindly regards.

Re: [APP][2.2+] The Lightning Browser v2.0.0 - the fastest browser around

wow incredible job with this! Looks great and it FLIES! I'd like to chime in with the other users with the options issue. Hopefully you have that fixed in the next release :)

I also found that clicking a link to a PDF (it's through javascript, not a direct link) doesn't download the file.

last bug I found in my 2 mins of testing is that the transformer dock enter button doesn't work. It acts as a tab key instead. Saw this mentioned on the play store, didn't scan the whole thread to see if it had been reported again here.

Last thing I'd like to request is support for keyboard shortcuts on my transformer prime. I know not a lot of people use keyboard docks but it'd be incredibly useful to have support for ctrl+tab to change tabs ctrl+t to open tabs ctrl+w to close tabs, and the search button to get to the URL bar. This would be the icing on the cake!

Again, congrats on a GREAT job! :) looking forward to future releases

Great browser! Would just love one extra thing. I hate looking at address bars etc while scrolling down a page, I find it wastes valuable real estate. If there was a way to make the address bar kind of auto hide while scrolling down, and reappear while scrolling up, that would be perfect. I know the stock ics/jb browser do this.

Not the right thread but I'll do if I have enough time. Maybe I'll wait till they release a standalone version of WebView. As anthonycr said file upload is not working very well and I don't have enough time left to regularly work on it. Youtube videos are also broken on KK when using a browser. I hope they release a standalone version of WebView. That would help us a lot.

And thanks for explaining, hope both your app and Lighting Browser will get fixed soon.

As far as I know they want to put it into the Play Store. Normally WebView gets updated via rom update. I don't know if they release a completely backwards compatible API.

When using inverted rendering mode, I get quick flashes of white as I scroll around and the screen refreshes. It's pretty hard to look at under dim light, which is when inverted mode is most useful.

Not sure what's causing it. Is it because the app background is white by default and that's what I am seeing?
[Android Apps and Games] agentsmith988:
Just installed Lightning and am loving the small memory footprint! I've got a couple of issues/ideas though and wanted to post them on here!

1. While using full-screen mode every time the address bar slides in/out a white bar slides/flashes on the bottom of the screen.

2. Would it be possible to add the option of having the address bar auto-hide when the page finishes loading? Pages like imgur do not require scrolling down to navigate and it would be nice to have the added screen real-estate that having an auto-hiding address bar affords.

3. Would it be possible to add the option to make the thin loading bar disappear after the page finishes loading? It looks strange to have it there especially on pages with dark backgrounds.

4. When the address bar slides in/out the position on the webpage moves as well. This causes really jumpy scrolling. The latest version of Chrome does this really well (the appearance/disappearance of the address bar does not effect the position of the webpage).

Thanks again for the small/quick browser!!

[Android Apps and Games] barth2:
Happy thanksgiving

I made a crude attempt to improve the inverted rendering mode.. Essentially OnPageFinished I load a javascript to add this CSS

img,object,embed,video {-webkit-filter: invert(100%) !important;}

Inverting images twice == normal images!

The main advantage is people no longer look like X-ray images of themselves. Downside 1) The images don't invert until page finishes downloading. 2) background images are still messed up. To deal with background images would require cycling through elements and get computed styles to see if they have a background image. That could be slow.

A wonderful lightweight browser, which has the lowest memory footprint of any of the browsers I've seen in the Playstore. Only the stock browser that came with my Galaxy s5 is less memory intensive but it doesn't block ads like this browser, which is huge for me since I'm not rooted and running Adaway.

On my wishlist (since Christmas is so close) would be a dark theme for the entire browser. I do also see the occasional flashing whites that some have complained about in inverted mode.
